Definition
A seat is something made for sitting on, such as a chair or a bench space; it can also mean a place where power or authority is centered.
Etymology
From Old Norse “sæti” meaning “seat, position,” related to the verb “sit.” The idea of a physical sitting place expanded to mean a position of power.
Kelly Says
When we talk about a “seat in parliament” or a “seat of power,” we’re using a furniture word for political authority. Who gets to sit—and where—has always mattered socially.
